Workforce Is More Divided, Report Shows

Manhattan's white-collar workers make more than double what its non-office workers do, according to a new study, and there are also disparities within the professional ranks: proportionally fewer blacks and Hispanics than 20 years ago and a persistent wage gap between men and women. The report, from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, compares U.S. Census data for Manhattan from 1990 and 2012, which shows an increasingly polarized workforce. In 2012, office workers earned an average salary of $100,900, or 110% more than the $47,947 average salary for a non-office worker. In 1990, office workers earned an average salary of $41,181, or 75% more than the $23,590 average salary for non-office workers.
